Stretch Marks

Hi, does anyone have any suggestions to prevent stretch marks? I'm 15 weeks pregnant and my tummy itches...especially below the navel.

I fear a lot of issues with stretch marks are genetic but staying hydrated, moisturizing your skin daily, and keeping a good diet will all help though... here's to hoping anyway!

Be careful with vitamin C too much can be harmful. Research will tell you that also

Cocoa butter also helps but don't use a thick moisturizing cream use a thin one so it can actually get into your skin instead of sitting on top

Unfortunately stretch marks are hereditary so not much can be done to prevent them. I use coconut oil, a Shea butter and Curel depending what I have on hand. Most important, I think, is to keep your skin hydrated.
